Max Planck Formulates Black-Body Radiation Law
Max Planck presented his groundbreaking work on black-body radiation, offering a new theoretical framework that would revolutionize physics. The formulation stemmed from attempts to explain the observed spectrum emitted by perfect black bodies, which traditional physics could not adequately describe. Planck's law, derived from his theoretical research, introduced the concept of quantized energy levels. This innovative idea was presented at a meeting of the German Physical Society in Berlin, marking a pivotal moment in the development of quantum theory.
